Hyderabad’s KBR Park turns into traffic rotary as police implement one-way rule
There are 200 personnel on the road to guide and implement the rule. Some people are stopping and asking for clarification, while others know the change
On Tuesday morning, the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park in Hyderabad transformed into a massive traffic rotary due to a one-way vehicular flow implemented by the traffic police. Starting at 6 a.m., motorists on Road No. 3 from Banjara Hills traveling towards Jubilee Hills Checkpost were compelled to take a left turn near the traffic signal.
Morning walkers, who typically drove straight to the park from the L.V. Prasad stretch to find parking space, now had to navigate a left turn before commencing their walk. Similarly, motorists and school buses coming from Yousufguda were directed to take a roundabout route instead of making a right turn at the signal. The result was a faster movement of vehicles, confusion, and heated exchanges between commuters and police personnel.
Srinivas Rao, a police official near the JH Checkpost, was tasked with convincing motorists to take a 5-km detour instead of the right turn. Designated lane-switching locations were established for exiting the roundabout. The one-way arrangement aimed to facilitate smoother traffic flow around the park as a traffic-management measure due to ongoing H-CITI construction works.
Police personnel remained stationed at key locations throughout the day to guide and assist commuters.
